: Re: Verb tense for technical document titles I'm writing a technical manual about creating database systems, and wondered what is the best verb tense for title names. My ideas are: Continuous (-ing)
I am not aware of any formal guidelines, but here is my subjective take:
Continuous: Seems less formal, like what I would expect from an online FAQ/guide.
Descriptive: This seems formal, like what would be required in a dry document, e.g. a government software requirements document.
Imperative: Also informal, like continuous. Seems more suited to step-by-step instructions, since it's telling the reader what to do.
I would choose the appropriate one based on the target audience for the document.
